Father's Day

We're planning a couple of special things for Sunday, June 21:

🍩 Donuts for Dads
👶 Child Dedication

Child Dedication is a special moment when parents publicly commit to raising their children to know and follow Jesus, while our church family commits to encouraging and supporting them along the way.

If you're interested in dedicating your child, contact Amanda Harris for details.

This Sunday we’re talking about “The Wrong People.”

Which honestly sounds like the title of a reality show… or a church argument.

Acts 21-22 is wild:

Paul gets warned not to go to Jerusalem
a prophet ties himself up with Paul’s belt
the city loses its mind
and somehow it all centers around this question:
Who gets included?

Because Jesus kept doing something religious people hated:
He kept moving toward the people everybody else side-eyed.

The wrong women.
The wrong crowd.
The wrong preacher.
The wrong group.

And somewhere in the middle of all that… we realize:
Jesus chose us too.

Come hang out Sunday at The River.
No perfect people required.

— Rusty
